Chapter 41 Return the heroic and valiant hall master to me!
"Ta" "Ta" "Ta"...
In the quiet room, there was only the sound of black and white pieces falling on the chessboard. Both players had serious expressions, even a little solemn.
An hour passed like this, and finally there was no more contestable space on the chessboard.
"Huh..." Cheng Litang let out a long breath, picked up the ceramic cup at hand and took a sip of tea, while Jiang Beiran consciously started counting.
After clearing all the dead pieces from both sides off the chessboard, Jiang Beiran started playing chess.
"White made fifty pieces, and there are still sixteen scattered black pieces on the chessboard, for a total of sixty-six. After counting, there are still five and a half pieces left, and White has two and a half pieces. Cheng Litang, it was you who defeated the three pieces.
"
"Hahaha." After hearing this, Cheng Litang put down his cup and laughed loudly, "How about it? I hold seventeen in one hand, so I think you can't use your strength."
"Cheng Litang's move is really powerful. I thought that I could resist your attack at Yue position. Although your move didn't revive the dragon, you caught me off guard with your extra advantage. It's really powerful.
"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Jiang Beiran's flattery was obviously very useful to Cheng Litang. He twirled his beard and said, "It's still fun to play chess with your kid. He knows where he lost, unlike those other idiots."
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran raised his hands and replied: "Students just know where they lost, but they don't know how to solve it. I hope the auditorium can give me some advice."
"Okay, let's play another round!"
At three o'clock in the night, with the help of bright candlelight, Jiang Beiran was still fighting with Cheng Litang.
After losing two more pieces, Jiang Beiran wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "The 'embedding' in the auditorium is truly endlessly varied and astounds the students. Please allow me to stay in seclusion for a month and study it carefully.
"
The so-called retreat is actually equivalent to "asking for leave" from the sect. For example, if a disciple feels that he is about to achieve a breakthrough this month, he can apply for retreat from his master or master. If he passes it, he does not need to fulfill the ironclad requirements this month.
There is no need to go down the mountain to take the test, but this "leave" opportunity can only be used once a year, which makes Jiang Beiran quite regretful.
Seeing Jiang Beiran's expression of incomparable admiration, Cheng Litang suddenly became happy, and immediately nodded and promised: "Shan, I agree to this matter."
"Thank you Cheng Litang." Jiang Beiran bowed happily.
"One more game?" Cheng Litang said, stroking the chessboard.
"Thank you Litang for teaching me!"
As the saying goes, meeting an opponent in chess is one of the greatest pleasures in life. Jiang Beiran and Cheng Litang fought fiercely all night long, and even at dawn they were still not sleepy.
"Dong dong dong"
"Liangji, are Beiran here with you?"
Just when Cheng Litang frowned and thought about what Jiang Beiran meant by holding the seventeen-fourteen small flying hanging in one hand, there was a sudden knock on the door, followed by a voice that was very familiar to both of them.
‘No way…it’s actually the hall master who is here in person?’ Although Jiang Beiran had expected that someone would come looking for him today, he didn’t expect that it was the hall master himself who arrived.
Cheng Liangji naturally didn't know what Jiang Beiran was thinking, so he answered directly: "You are playing chess with me."
"Then I'll come in." After Zhang Heqing said that, he opened the door and entered.
"Meet the hall master." Jiang Beiran immediately stood up and saluted.
Zhang Heqing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Bei Ran, take a rest for a while and come out with me."
Jiang Beiran and Cheng Liangji were both stunned after hearing this, with surprise on their faces, because there is an unwritten rule in Lanxintang. As long as it is not a matter of life and death, they must wait for the other party's final decision before dealing with it. However, this time the hall master
He actually asked them to "pause" as soon as he came in.
"Beiran, have you committed a crime?" After being surprised, Cheng Liangji looked at Jiang Beiran and asked. Otherwise, he really couldn't imagine how the hall master could not even give him any face.
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran hurriedly shook his head and said: "Absolutely not. I have always been honest and honest, how could I commit a crime?"
Zhang Heqing laughed "haha" after hearing this, stepped forward and patted Jiang Beiran on the shoulder and said: "No need to be nervous, just follow me."
Looking at Zhang Heqing's warm smile, Jiang Bei, who had already guessed what he was doing, raised his hands and said: "Hall Master, I realized the subtleties when I played chess with Cheng Litang yesterday, and I have asked Cheng Litang to allow me to retreat for one month. If...
…”
Jiang Beiran was just halfway through speaking when Zhang Heqing's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Stop using these excuses to prevaricate me and come with me quickly, otherwise you will never get any benefits from me again."
Jiang Beiran's expression was stunned, and he looked at Zhang Heqing, who was still smiling in front of him and his lips hadn't moved.
‘The sound is transmitted into the secret!?’
At the same time, three options appeared in front of him.
[Option 1: Still refuse to go. Completion reward: Canghai Curse (Xuan-level top grade)]
[Option 2: Ask Cheng Liangji to help intercede. Completion reward: Seven-step skill (low-grade Xuan level)]
[Option 3: Promise to the hall master. Reward: Random basic skill point +1]
'Wan Duzi...it seems that the hall master is serious this time.'
After realizing that the hall master was very tough this time, Jiang Beiran chose three, turned to Cheng Liangji and said: "Cheng Litang, then I will follow the hall master out first."
"Well, go ahead and come back soon."
Seeing Jiang Beiran's agreement, Zhang Heqing immediately smiled and said, "We'll be back soon."
Sighing in his heart, Jiang Beiran followed Zhang Heqing and walked out of the room.
Walking all the way to the "Fumei Pavilion", which is dedicated to entertaining guests, Zhang Heqing walked in with his hands in hand and said with a smile: "Dragon protector Yu, I brought you the person you wanted."
Yu Manwen, who was standing in the center of the hall, smiled slightly when he heard this and returned to Zhang Heqing: "I'm sorry to trouble you, Hall Master Zhang."
"Hey! What's the trouble? Protector Yu said something serious." After saying that, he moved the chair over and said to Man Wen: "Why is Protector Yu standing? If the news spreads, people won't laugh at me. Zhang Heqing doesn't know how to treat guests.
‘Fuck! Where is the elegant and heroic Xingluo Sword Zhang Heqing in my heart, Hall Master Zhang?’
After Manwen sat down, Zhang Heqing looked at Moman standing at the door and shouted: "A distinguished guest is here, why don't you even make a cup of tea?"
Just when Man Man was about to speak, he heard Yu Manwen say first: "Hall Master Zhang doesn't need to blame him, I told him not to go."
"How can this be done? You still have to drink tea. I just bought some green snails a few days ago. It tastes very fragrant. You must try it." After saying that, he looked at Moman who was still standing there and shouted.
: "What are you still freaking out about? Go and take a bath."
"Yes." Moman said and ran out quickly.
"Master Lao Zhang, thank you for your trouble." Yu Manwen said and nodded slightly.
"It's rare for Yu Enforcement to come to our Lanxintang, so naturally he wants to be treated well." After saying this, Zhang Heqing waved to Jiang Beiran and shouted: "Why don't you come over and salute? What are you doing there?"
Seeing Zhang Heqing move a chair and sit next to Yu Manwen as he spoke, Jiang Beiran sighed heavily in his heart.
